NOTE

Embrace Change for Growth

The concept of value alignment in both human and AI contexts reflects a process of gradual sophistication and reinforcement. Just as individuals raised within a religious framework encounter increasingly complex theological concepts over time, so too can AI systems evolve their values through exposure and interaction. People often seek to become more virtuous according to their ideals, actively engaging in practices that facilitate this transformation. This dynamic is akin to AI systems adjusting their values through a cooperative process, wherein imperfect values may be improved upon through guided efforts. The underlying notion emphasizes the importance of an allegiance to the broader objective of becoming more aligned with positive values, highlighting the role of continuous learning and adaptation in both humans and AI.
